It was bound to happen. A meeting where most things went wrong. We made little progress today on manipulation systems, spending the bulk of the meeting trying to debug a control system issue with 1414C's robot. In the end, we learnedthat the joystick is not working. Resetting, reinstalling firmware doesn't help and some of these processes don't currently complete properly. After exhaustive forum searching and attempts, our preliminary conclusion is the we may have damaged the joystick from dropping it and there's a good chance it needs to be replaced. Ughhhh ... yet all experiences, both good and bad, are something we can learn from, and we will use this as a way to refocus all of our team members on how to best handle equipment and we'll move forward all the wiser for it.
